Probably.

>Is fate just an illusion?
Think about it this way; you would not be conscious without free will.

>>17446764
if were eternal why do we live such short lives?

Do we keep moving from one life to the next?

>>17446784
physical and spiritual evolution

if you really think about it shit gets scary. Everything has a cause. You don't do anything without cause. And the original cause started way before you were born. We could totally basically be automatons in a way.

Is how far humanity has come just a product of an infinite universe or are we all somehow special. Will we ever experience life as human beings again?

Were you an automoton, you would not be aware.

The impermanence of all things, including ourselves, yet the apparent impermanence of our actions, what we do seems to last longer than anything we make it seems.

Twas a strange realisation for me also. Can't tell if life is just a really vivid dream now.

Also let me add, from the perspective of the Singularity that gave rise to the Big Bang and created the Universe, and also lies at the core of every black hole, everything that ever did happen, or ever will happen, happens at once, so no one ever really dies.

The entire spacetime continuum is reduced to an infinitesimal point particle from the perspective of something going at light speed.

just as there was one beginning, there is one end. just as you drop a ball and know it will fall to the floor, the same is true with the beginning of the universe, there's only 1 course.

>>17446788
Yes

We are not special in that way no. It depends on the individual and the evolution of their consciousness and other factors

That's besides the point you are here for your development, transubstantiate.
